...role that would look like mannered showboating by anyone else. Johnny Depp and Robert Downey Jr. have that talent, and so does Crispin Glover, although he doesn't seem capable of swinging into normalcy. It's too early to tell what Redmayne's (The Good Shepherd, The Other Boleyn Girl) full range is, but he's definitely got the gift of riveting strangeness. You start out thinking his Gordy is the village idiot; then, as this ghostly pale, freckled redhead goes on and on about being Native American, you decide he's a fabulist. Watching him furtively stuff crayfish...
...Duchess”—based on the biography of the same name by Amanda Foreman—does little to make the dazzling Georgiana of Devonshire stand out from the crowd. Like “Marie Antoinette” and “The Other Boleyn Girl,” “The Duchess” is a period film about a beautiful, young, aristocratic female trapped in an unhappy situation. This time, it’s a marriage with three people: Georgiana, her husband, and her husband’s live-in mistress. The Duchess Georgiana...
...discipline and, most importantly, stop cherry-picking the best films from their slates. In the earliest deals, studios withheld their biggest potential hits from the funds - Sony kept all earnings from its Spider-Man sequels, for example, while investors picked up the tabs for under-performers like The Other Boleyn Girl and RV.

...16th century England. Cuomo's fealty, however, crumbles in a most crucial aspect. St. Thomas More put his faithfulness to Roman Catholic teaching ahead of his political career and even his life when he was martyred for not assenting to the King's divorce and marriage to Anne Boleyn. Mario Cuomo, to the contrary, has surrendered his faith to his political career by supporting a woman's right to have an abortion. Thomas Wade Moore Dallas I have been intrigued with Cuomo since his keynote speech at the '84 convention, when I considered him to have presidential potential...
...goodbye to the less exalted characters of the cinema's winter and early spring: the Asian-American dopers and slacker documentarians, the weepie men and baby mamas, the caveman hunters and Boleyn sisters, the chronically unmarried or uncomfortably pregnant or serial-killer imperiled women - you'll hardly be seeing any women at all in star roles. Even Judd Apatow and his goofball satyrs are taking a break. (The reigning producer of R-rated comedy has two movies opening toward the shank of the summer.) Fallible, ordinarily engaging, human-size, earthbound characters just don't measure up when the weather turns...
